alert the driver.

When  the  warning  buzzer
sounds,  check  the  area  around
your vehicle and carefully  oper-
ate  the  steering  wheel  to  move
the vehicle back to the center of
the lane.
Vehicle  with  BSM:  When  the
system  determines  that  the
vehicle  might  depart  from  its
lane and that the possibility of a
collision with an overtaking vehi-
cle  in the  adjacent lane is high,
the  lane  departure  alert  will
operate  even  if  the  turn  signals
are operating.

when  in  a  traffic  jam,  this  func-
tion will operate to help follow a
preceding vehicle by monitoring
the  position  of  the  preceding
vehicle.

Hands off steering wheel warning

●

When the system determines the driver is not holding the steering wheel
while the lane centering function is operating.

If the driver continues to keep their hands off of the steering wheel, the
buzzer sounds, the driver is warned and the function is temporarily canceled.
This warning also operates in the same way when the driver continuously
operates the steering wheel only a small amount.

●

When the system determines that the vehicle may deviate from the lane
while driving around a curve while the lane centering function is operating.

Depending on the vehicle condition and road conditions, the warning may not
operate. Also, if the system determines that the vehicle is driving around a
curve, warnings will occur earlier than during straight-lane driving.

●

When the system determines that the driver is driving without holding the
steering wheel while the steering wheel assist of the steering assist function
is operating.

If the driver continues to keep their hands off of the steering wheel and the
steering wheel assist is operating, the buzzer sounds and the driver is
warned. Each time the buzzer sounds, the continuing time of the buzzer
becomes longer.

■

Vehicle sway warning function

Depending on the vehicle and road conditions, the warning may not operate.

In the following situations, a warning mes-
sage urging the driver to hold the steering
wheel and the symbol shown in the illus-
tration are displayed on the multi-informa-
tion  display  to  warn  the  driver.  The
warning  stops  when  the  system  deter-
mines  that  the  driver  holds  the  steering
wheel.  Always  keep  your  hands  on  the
steering  wheel  when  using  this  system,
regardless of warnings.

When  the  system  determines  that  the
vehicle is swaying while the vehicle sway
warning  function  is  operating,  a  buzzer
sounds  and  a  warning  message  urging
the driver to rest and the symbol shown in
the  illustration  are  simultaneously  dis-

The RSA system recognizes spe-
cific  road  signs  using  the  front
camera  and/or  navigation  system
(when  speed  limit  information  is
available)  to  provide  information
to the driver via the display.

If the system judges that the vehicle is being driven over the speed
limit, performing prohibited actions, etc. according to the recognized
road signs, it notifies the driver through a visual notification and notifi-
cation buzzer

: This setting needs to be customized.

WARNING

■

Before using the RSA

Do not rely solely upon the RSA system. RSA is a system which supports
the driver by providing information, but it is not a replacement for a driver’s
own vision and awareness. Drive safely by always paying careful attention
to the traffic rules.

286

4-5. Using the driving support systems

When the front camera recognizes a sign and/or information of a sign
is available from the navigation system, the sign will be displayed on
the multi-information display.

●

When the driving assist system
information is selected, a maxi-
mum of 3 signs can be dis-
played. (

P. 98, 111)

●

When a tab other than the driv-
ing assist system information is
selected, the following types of
road signs will be displayed.
(

• Speed limit sign
• Do Not Enter sign (when

notification is necessary)

If signs other than speed limit signs are recognized, they will be dis-
played in an overlapping stack under the current speed limit sign.

mines that your vehicle has entered a no-entry area, the displayed
sign will flash and a buzzer will sound.

Depending on the situation, a notification function may not operate
properly.

Conditions in which the function may not operate or detect correctly

In the following situations, RSA does not operate normally and may not rec-
ognize signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.

●

The front camera is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to the
sensor, etc.
